Playing rm video files

I downloaded some (zipped)rm video files, and once unzipped, could not find a player or the codecs to run these files.
Would not run on Kaffeine, VLC, Totem, etc...
With Kaffeine, it asked if I wanted to install the proper codecs, I said Yes, but nothing happened.

realplayer is the obvious choice for playing .rm's There are plugins that work with other media players that should do the job also.

mplayer comes with about the most complete set of codecs:

Or use your package-manager (you haven't told us your distro) to install the codecs.
Or install realplayer: http://www.real.com/linux
Or install helix: http://freshmeat.net/projects/helixplayer/
